Duke isn't in Raleigh. It's in Durham which, to outsiders may seem a minor error, but not it you live in either. I spent 4 years attending that school and have never been to Raleigh (no reason to visit) but went to Chapel Hill, in the other direction, regularly.
One other comment: It says UC San Francisco is ranked #15. I don't even know what that means. Most rankings are based purely on the undergraduate departments. UCSF doesn't even have an undergraduate department. It's almost 100% a medical institution (and usually ranked in the top 5 of those in the US). In effect, it's the medical school that UC Berkeley might otherwise have (decades ago medical schools were almost always in major cities where they had lots of poor urban patients they could use as "teaching material"--which wasn't as bad as it sounds--providing free medical care in return for allowing half a dozen medical students, interns and residents "examine" you and participate in your care, all supervised by a senior doctor who, at an institution like UCSF, may be a world-renowned authority on whatever's wrong with you).
